GDT 8/26/19 Pittsburgh Pirates (Musgrove) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Vargas)

[bkeich]

It would have been a long time before I would have guessed that Coste threw out 3 in a game. Not really what he was known for.

[kikutaro]

Realmuto

Foul (85.5 mph slider)
Ball (94. mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (84.9 mph slider)
Foul (84.6 mph slider)
In play, no out (93.7 mph four-seam fastball)
238 ft line drive (exit speed: 80 mph, launch angle: 18°)

J.T. Realmuto singles on a line drive to center fielder Starling Marte.

[bkeich]

Realmuto determined to be player of the game. Hopefully he comes around to score

[kikutaro]

Dickerson, C

Ball (93.9 mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (83.4 mph changeup)
Ball (94. mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (92.7 mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (93.5 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (93.6 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (94.2 mph four-seam fastball)

Corey Dickerson walks. J.T. Realmuto to 2nd.

[LoneStarPhan]

Dickerson fouled off ball four, well off the strike zone. He takes the next one, which is much closer to the strike zone and except for being lower, about what this ump has called a strike tonight.

Regardless, a walk. Two on, no out.

[bkeich]

Would be tempting to use Velasquez to PR for Realmuto. You suppose Vince can catch too? He certainly has the arm for it

I am still convinced if there was 1 guy who I would want making a throw from LF to home in this team it would be Velasquez. He made 2 absolutely perfect throws, no one I have seen has done better this year

[Philsmania]

They'll find a way to blow it again.

[LoneStarPhan]

Now Segura fouls off ball four on a full count.

Hits next pitch well but nice catch by centerfielder for a DP. Why was Realmuto that far off with no outs?

Would have been bases loaded with no outs if Segura takes that walk.

[kikutaro]

Segura

Ball (86. mph slider)
Ball (92. mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (91.9 mph four-seam fastball)
Called strike (91.7 mph four-seam fastball)

[bkeich]

Pittsburgh’s pitching staff seems determined to lose this game but we are managing to stop them.

[kikutaro]

Mound Visit.

[LoneStarPhan]

Stratton goes 2 innings, 2 hits and 4 walks, but somehow we managed to not score.

In the tenth, all outs came on the balls hit by Segura and Hernandez, both of which were well hit and just missed being hits. Hernandez liner was caught about an inch off the ground. Segura's ball was caught just off the ground by the center fielder. Really could have gotten by him or even if it didn't, had he trapped it, Realmuto probably would have scored.

Luck of late not favoring the Phillies but perhaps they earn it with some bonehead plays and some strange managerial moves.

Still, Phillies had so many chances to end this game in the 9th or the 10th. They really need to score here..
